Ragapop + Aili & Orson + Arsenal Mikebe | NYOKOBOP Festival

The NYOKOBOP festival, organized by Le Hasard Ludique and Super!, focuses on contemporary music from regions that remain underrepresented on our stages.

Since 2018, it has provided a glimpse into the immense diversity of music revolutionizing the global music scene. Over 7 editions, hosted by Le Hasard Ludique, around a hundred artists have performed, representing dozens of nationalities, sounds, languages, faces, and struggles.

NYOKOBOP returns in December 2026 for an 8th edition!

December 10 line-up:

· Ragapop

Ragapop is a group of Ukrainian origin, born from the collaboration of Dakh Daughters members Ruslana Khazipova and Anna Nikitina with producer Anton Ocheretyanyy. The band’s aesthetic is a blend of performance and music, influenced by post-punk and lo-fi electronica. The band became popular for its wild live performances. Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the band has been touring throughout Europe to raise awareness about their nation’s situation, carry a message, and support the defense of free-world values.

· Aili & Orson

The Belgian-Japanese electro-pop duo consisting of Aili Maruyama and Orson Wouters forged a unique bond after meeting at a party in 2019. The diversity of their personalities and musical approaches prompted them to explore new ideas. Prioritizing spontaneity, they began studio sessions without preconceived notions, bouncing sounds and jokes back and forth until lyrics emerged naturally. Aili’s surprising inclination to sing more in Japanese, a unique version developed with her father, added a personal touch. Their EP Dansu, released in 2021 on Eskimo Recordings, with its blend of underground electronic sounds and sparkling pop, met with immediate acclaim, earning them nominations and praise.

· Arsenal Mikebe

Arsenal Mikebe is a boundary-pushing Ugandan percussion ensemble and a proud member of the Nyege Nyege collective, based in the suburbs of Kampala. Composed of master percussionists Ssentongo Moses, Dratele Epiphany, and Luyambi Vicent de Paul, the group transforms traditional rhythmic practices into raw, hypnotic soundscapes that echo the power and precision of electronic music — while remaining entirely acoustic.
